On pages with many records, such as the Computers and Monitor pages, you can filter records by entering criteria that the records must match. For example, on the Computers page, you can enter criteria so that computers only appear if they are online and have warnings.
If you want to reuse filter criteria, you can save the criteria as a view. The view is then available for all Admin and regular users in the site. In addition to the filter criteria, the sort order and number of records on the page are saved.
The following information is not saved in a view: the specific records that appear, the records that are selected, and the record that is expanded on the page.
Note: Because filter criteria are saved in a view rather than a list of specific records, the records that match the criteria may change. When a user chooses a view, records that appear might not be the same as when the view was saved.
To enter filter criteria and save a view:
1. On a page of records, find the filter row under the column headings.
2. In the filter row, in each column where you want to apply a filter, do one of the following:
•In the empty box, type text that records must match.
•In the list, click the value that records must match.
Records only appear on the page if they match all specified criteria.
3. To save the filter criteria as a view, click Save View. In the box that appears, enter a view name.
The new view appears in the views list.
